Ferrari Mailing List: Re: NCC (No Camaro Content): Ferrari F40 Trophy Rally

[Steve Jenkins (steve]

Holy cow (again).

Tom - we're not spelling/grammar Nazis on this list. And even though I
believe it's bad form to do so, if you ever DO decide to pick out someone's
spelling or grammar mistakes, yours needs to be impeccable.

You should never trade one blunder in someone else's email for many in
yours, such as:

- Forgetting to put a comma in "Boy, Willi."
- Starting a sentence with the integer "2" instead of the word "Two."
- Neglecting to put an apostrophe in front of "coon," since it is a
contraction of "raccoon."
- Using an integer-based ordinal number (2nd) to start a sentence instead of
spelling it out (Second).
- Putting an extra space after the comma following "bed."

See how silly grammar Nazism is? It's a slippery slope we should all avoid.
:)

Impeccably yours,

SteveJ

Boy Willi.  2 strikes for you today, ya'll better get back to coon hunting
there in AR with WJC.  :)  First strike, it's not "Ferrari's" it's
"Ferraris".  As an old newsie, you should know that.  2nd, I didn't say
that, I gave credit to John for a line he used in a post of his which was a
reply to one from cLyDe.
Go back to bed,  tomorrow will be better.

Best,

  Hey Tom: GET SERIOUS! There is no "Worst model Ferrari."  For the love of
God ... They're all Ferrari's. That's like asking, "Which model Yugo is the
best." Just my 2 pesos.

  Yer pal, Shitbox Bubba

I think John's sentence "The worst model Ferrari is still better than 95% of
the cars out there." should be added to the coffee mug.  Or have another one
started, whatever.
